I have sent PM to you. Would you kindly reply me.
Thanks
See, delays & different processing times r all part of the PR. If A gets his meds in 6 months -it not necessarily means that B would follow the same path. So, give it some more time, have patience & the glory would be yours.
Meanwhile, if u feel, send them a Case Progress Update request. CHC-SG might reply u with the current factual position.
Sending an email here-n-there doesn't create any adversity to your case. But, it shouldn't be frequent.

i would like to say that i filled my application on 12th May and received by CIO on 18th May 2010. on my application i have mentioned 2 NOC from 2003 to 2007 as Network Administrator NOC 2281 pre feb to gain the point for experience and 4131 as College Instructor from 2007 to todate. one thing remains to be mentioned that my previous application is also in process since Nov 2006 with NOC 2281. my question is this 4131 is in the list and 2281 is non-listed. so my applicaion will b ok or there will be a problem?
thanx Qorax sharing ur views. You, Leon, Maaties are the great blessing for the forum members. when everyone is in trouble he moves to you people side. May Almighty ALLAH give u everything which u r having in ur heart.qorax said:All that is required, is that u have 1yr exp in the last 10yrs, in an NOC from the MI list -& u r eligible. The rest of the exp in any other NOC fetches u points too (but do not stand for eligibility).
Thus u should be fine.
ramneek said:hello rocky/qorax & others
i have some questions abt post landing
1. is there any uniform like thing for any type of professionals or for labour job i.e. white *censored word* & black trousours in all jobs(ihave heard this thing)
2. is there any allowance for kids & when it is paid by govt. when we land there in canada would it be started from the very first day or later on?
3. what if somebody doesnt get the job, is there any unemployment allowance for newcomers. if yes then how much.
4.does service canada centres also help in getting job to a person who has just done matric.
5. is there any resume needed for labour job also?
any body knows the answer for my queries plz respond
thanks in advance
ramneek
one more thing how much time difference is there in between india & toranto
thanx
qorax said:1. There's no such thing as a uniform with most employers. However, certain corporates maintain some sort of dress-over like a blue colored shirt carrying the company logo -as with Bell Canada, red with Rogers, overalls in warehouses/factories etc.
2. Yes, upon landing u can file-in the CTB (Child Tax Benefit) & HST (Harmonized Service Tax) forms. U get some monthly respite thereon. CTB could fetch u anything around $300-400/child/month -based on your income & the kids age. It continues till the kids r 18 &/or your income goes above the threshold limit.
3. The Unemployment Insurance is not for not getting a job. It's for being retrenched & thereon unable to get another one. Obtaining that is not easy. Moreover, as a newcomer u r not supposed to look for any & many ways to fetch Govtl funds. This is how ppl from certain regions r looked down upon here. (plz pardon me for being harsh)
4. U'd need a resume for any type of job. Else, how do u sell yourself to a prospective employer? The rules of getting a job remains the same worldwide.
5. Time diff between India & Canada is 10.5 hrs. Toronto time + 10.5 hrs for India.

canada1234 said:Dear Qorax need some clarification regarding Point 2.
Can we get easily child benefit immediately after we land canda. Does this effect on status, I mean if someone holding PR and taking Govt. Benefits. Will it effect its status when he go for citizenship. Can we continuosusly take CTB till child gets the age of 18. What is HST [Harmonized service Tax]?
Secondly before going if we get health insurance, which is I think for 3 months. Which one is best and what is cost?-- How long it takes to receive Health Card once we applied from there.
Thanks
qorax said:1. The CTB has no effect on your PR standing. It's a yeoman [free] service provided by the Govt. Of Canada & is available to all PR/Citizens, who might fall in the bracket. Yes, u can accept the CTB & it won't affect your Citizenship Application, neither will it in case u choose to apply for a visa for your relatives.
2. The HST[13%] came into effect from July-2010. It basically clubbed the GST[8%] & PST[5%] (Sales Taxes) into one; & unfortunately attracted the full component of indirect taxes to lot many products/services. It's a killer! However, as newcomers with limited income, the Govt chose to provide us a small relief gesture, to tide over our tight budgets.
*Both the CTB & the HST Relief Applications will be helped-out to u once u hit your Neighborhood Community Center.
3. Obtaining a Temp. Travel Insurance is a wise action. Yes, they r for anything between 1-3 months, in our case taking the max validity is factually correct. Which one to buy? -I've written about it in a separate thread, with the same subject name, plz have a look there.
4. How long does it take to receive the Health Card?
-If u r referring to the Travel Insurance -it's available to u as u pay up. On the spot u get the card & the benefits booklet. And the insurance applies to u from the same day of paying up too.
-If u r referring to the Provincial Healthcare Cards -it's activated only after 3 months of landing in most provinces, except Alberta & Manitoba (these 2 provinces give u Medicare from the day u land).
